Dette er så hårreisende idiotisk at det er vanskelig å tro. Enda verre blir det faktisk om man følger lenken om tips og råd.
Nasjonalarkivet har forkastet hele forsiden av nettsiden sin til fordel for et KI-tekstfelt?
Har dette kanskje gått litt for langt nå?

DNs avsløringer av Terje Rød-Larsens forbindelser til Jeffrey Epstein er en påminnelse om at personlige mål, drømmer og ambisjoner på uheldig vis kan vikle seg inn i profesjonelle veivalg – også for v...

Es hat Gründe, dass in den Epstein Files ein großer Teil der damals führenden KI Forscher auftaucht. Nicht nur weil sie Creeps sind (das auch!) sondern weil es dort und zu Leuten wie Peter Thiel massive ideologische Überschneidungen gibt.

This report in Nature on the costs of competing for & administering scientific grants is shocking: "In other words, European taxpayers will have spent more on the funding process than on the funding itself, and the scientific ecosystem has been drained." www.nature.com/articles/d41... 🧪
Point of no returns: researchers are crossing a threshold in the fight for funding
With so little money to go round, the costs of competing for grants can exceed what the grants are worth. When that happens, nobody wins.

Oh, it goes deeper than that. The Christmas tree is actually a folk memory of the two trees of Valinor, whose pure light was captured in the Silmarils (Silmaril -> ilmaril -> irmarel -> ermarel -> ornamel > ornament)
a lot of people don't realize that Christmas carols and traditions are actually folk memories of suppressed pre-Christian events, namely the end of the Third Age and the Fall of Sauron.

This is a terrific article by Tim, with fascinating implications for people interested in manuscripts, magic and beekeeping 🐝 #medievalsky
In the tenth century a charm to control a bee swarm was added, upside down, in the margin of an earlier mss. It's one of the earliest Old High German texts. Tim Hertogh argues in recent article it was intended as an amulet to cut out & place in a hive - explaining the margins excised elsewhere.👇
